A week ago .shop

M.other body was self-published only a month ago, filled with poems I wrote over a year, shaped by 13 years of being a mother + artist (aka constant transformation, chaos, bittersweet beauty, isolation and everything in between).

I also made a series of raw clay objects along the way - messy, tactile, very honest, imperfect, like little physical notes to self, extensions of the body, the center of it all.

Still feels a bit vulnerable, unreal but right!

Photo on Photo surprise that came with the “Makulatur”

It translates with “waste” of the printing process but the opposite is the case - it’s actually the best part

So is the press coverage and your very sweet messages and feedback I cherish so much. Making a book has definitely similar phases as bringing a child into this world. Something we discussed also in the interview you will find at the end. A conversation I had with Elodie Grethen and Marie-Ève Lafontaine. Please make sure you register for the event .shop this Thursday to find out more.

Photo on Photo - not planned but perfection

„Tearing apart x femme maison tvärtom“ 2026

There is loads of testing involved in the production of a book. This print on print of 2 photos is one of many wonderful odd surprises, it feels like an unplanned gift on top of the book that makes it all even more depth.

„M.other body“ was born from a deeply personal and vulnerable process. Through her own artistic practice Anna Riess examines how to be artist&mother.
In close collaboration with photographer Elodie Grethen, she brings these explorations into dialogue, weaving images and words into a work about body, identity, transformation, and intimacy. Sharing such personal texts and photographs requires courage and support.

„M.other body“ coming to life

wake-up call at 5:30 today : off to the printing factory with my dear friend and graphic designer .t

A little gift from the morning: I spotted a fox on the way

Half an hour later, we were deep in the color adjustments for my book. Such an incredible place: a beautiful workshop, expert hands adjusting powerful machines, and an atmosphere that’s both focused and full of warmth. Thank you for the early tour

This project is anything but simple - it’s delicate, detailed, and truly a team effort. Seeing it come to life like this is moving indeed.

Grateful for everyone involved in carrying this big vision forward with such care and precision. Thank you for your dedication, your expertise, and the joy you bring into the process:
